ZYDOX

Zydox is a stabilised chlorine dioxide and has been used in the USA and Europe for over 20 years to treat drinking water and swimming pools for Cryptosporidium and Giardia contamination.

It also has a number of other uses at various concentration levels:

as a food safe sanitiser

in the mushroom industry to treat bacterial blotch

in the seafood and meat processing industries to control bacteria

in the poultry industry to control upper respiratory fungal infection

in the dental industry as a mouthwash

it has many other uses including the treatment of mould and odours

Zydox is supplied at 40,000 parts per million (ppm) and is diluted to agreed concentration levels depending on the particular application.

How does it work?

It is a Biocide. Chlorine dioxide, the active agent in Zydox, is an oxidant with 250% higher oxidising capacity than chlorine.

UNLIKE chlorine, chlorine dioxide does not react with organics to produce chlorinated compounds. It works by interfering with the metabolism of micro organisms which means it is not possible for them to mutate or build resistance. Zydox is regarded as non-hazardous.

DRA 2 ACTIVATOR

The activator is basically a combination of potassium and acids. It is specially formulated to activate the stabilised chlorine dioxide. Regarded as hazardous according to Worksafe Australia. Classified as dangerous goods for transportation (Australian Dangerous Goods Code)
